Chapter 8 Keep A Secret

  • "Why concern yourself with them? Do not forget, you come from a respectable family. What is the purpose of engaging with them?" Mark Samuel remarked, his gaze fixated on the outside, exuding charm.
  • However, Leo Jane couldn't help but feel anger, as it resurfaced every time he recalled the incident.
  • At that moment, Mark looked at her once again, still sensing her anger, and said, "Very well, I will accompany you to purchase a new one!" Observing Jane continued anger, Mark made this statement.
  • After Mark said that, what more could she say? Apart from helplessly nodding her head, "Yes."
  • Meanwhile, outside the door...
  • Dudu and Emilia walked out.
  • Upon stepping out, Dudu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Seeing that woman so angry brings me great joy!"
  • "Why pretend to be innocent when you're the one who made her angry?"
  • Upon hearing Dudu's words, Emilia also couldn't help but laugh, "That's just like you!"
  • "Oh, I feel sorry for my $20. Initially, I only intended to give $10, but since I didn't have any change, I gave $20!"
  • Emilia responded, "Yes, that should be sufficient. If it were me, I would have given just $1."
  • Upon hearing Emilia's words, Dudu laughed, "Hmph, that's not the point. If she knew you were Mark's ex-wife, her expression would be even more priceless!" Dudu remarked.
  • Hearing this, Emilia laughed, "It's better if she doesn't know, otherwise she might attack me!"
  • "Hahaha, I want to see him angry. He thinks he's so great, but Mark didn't used to be like that."
  • Listening to Dudu's words, Emilia pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I agree."
  • Ha ha ha.
  • The two continued to laugh, then got into Dudu's car.
  • At that moment, Emilia suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Dudu, please don't tell anyone about my issue with Mark."
  • "I understand, don't worry. I wouldn't even tell my own mother. You can trust me!" Dudu said with a smile.
  • Upon hearing this, Emilia smiled and said, "I just don't want any unnecessary trouble."
  • "Don't worry, I won't say a word," Dudu assured, placing a finger over his lips.
  • Seeing Dudu's gesture, Emilia laughed, "I believe you."
  • Continuing their conversation, they started the car and went shopping.
  • The following day...
  • Emilia headed straight to Y&G.
  • After enduring a series of difficulties, she became even more determined not to settle for Y&G.
  • As soon as she entered Y&G, Emilia promptly submitted her resignation letter to the HRD department.
  • HRD Manager Miss Sarah appeared slightly disappointed, "You just arrived yesterday, and today you're resigning, Miss Emilia. Are there any issues with your job?"
  • Looking at Miss Sarah, Emilia simply smiled, "I apologize, but this is due to personal reasons and has nothing to do with the company."
  • "I understand. Take care, Miss Emilia, " the HRD manager said.
  • "Thank you!" Emilia sincerely replied, showing her respect for Miss Sarah.
  • At that moment, Miss Sarah contemplated for a moment, then said, "I will first submit the resignation letter to the president and then discuss it."
  • "Very well!" Emilia nodded.
  • Shortly after, Miss Sarah left for the president's office, but quickly returned.
  • "Miss Emilia!" Miss Sarah called out, "The president wants to see you in his office."
  • Upon hearing this, Emilia furrowed her brows, "Should I go?"
  • "Yes, your resignation letter is already with the president. He wishes to speak with you," Miss Sarah explained.
  • With no other choice, Emilia could only nod her head. "Alright, I understand. I apologize for the trouble, Miss Sarah."
  • "If there's nothing else, you may wait here," Miss Sarah replied.
  • Emilia smiled, choosing not to respond. Instead, she took a deep breath and proceeded to the president's office.
  • Emilia Luke smiled politely and did not respond. Instead, she took a deep breath and proceeded to the president's office.
  • Inside the office, Mark Samuel was seated at his desk, reviewing contracts. His black shirt added to his mature and attractive appearance.
  • As Emilia knocked on the door, Mark Samuel was in the midst of signing a contract. After signing, he closed the document and looked up at Emilia
  • "President Mark!" Emilia addressed him in a formal tone.
  • "Do you wish to resign?" Mark inquired.
  • "Yes!" Emilia honestly replied.
  • "Why? Give me a reason!" Mark demanded.
  • Upon hearing this, Emilia furrowed her brow. What reason should she provide?
  • On her first day, he had ruined her good mood and made her unhappy. And on the same day, they had caused a scene at the restaurant. Wasn't this a problem?
  • But why did Mark seem unfazed? Did he not care at all?
  • She had heard rumors about someone being fired from L&G company for saying something he shouldn't have. Now...
  • Emilia felt a bit lost.
  • However, she wouldn't voice her confusion. Instead, she maintained a casual smile.
  • "Personal reasons."
  • "Personal reasons?" Mark raised an eyebrow, looking at Emilia with sharp eyes as if trying to discern her true intentions. "Miss Emilia, what do you think L&G company is? How dare you resign for such a reason!?"
  • Hearing Mark tone, Emilia furrowed her brow but remained composed. "I apologize."
  • "Apologize? Can a simple apology resolve the issue? Who will bear the losses incurred by the company?" Mark questioned.
  • Losses? Emilia furrowed her brow and looked at Mark. "President Mark, I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean."
  • "What do I mean?" Mark smirked. "Miss Emilia, Y&G company has strict standards when it comes to hiring employees, and you met those qualifications. You've only just joined the company, and now you want to resign after less than a day? What do you think Y&G company is?"
  • Was this considered creating unnecessary trouble?
  • Why did Emilia's excuse sound fabricated?
  • Once Y&G recruitment news spreads, countless people will compete to join.
  • Emilia, standing there, remained calm. "President Mark, you jest. A prestigious company like Y&G will always have what it wants, including employees. As for me, I apologize, but I have personal matters that need to be resolved."
  • "Personal matters? Miss Emilia, you have recently returned from London. What personal matters could there be?" Mark inquired.
  • Upon hearing this, Emilia furrowed her brow. "This is a personal matter."
  • "Miss Emilia, that should not be used as an excuse!" Mark insisted.
  • Was he being sharp or unreasonable?
  • Why did Emilia feel that Mark was intentionally doing this?
  • "President Mark, does this have any relevance to my resignation?" Emilia questioned.
  • Hearing this, Mark sat up straight and retrieved a document from his desk, opening it.
  • "Miss Emilia, before joining the company, you signed a contract with us for a period of two years. If you resign for personal reasons within those two years, you will be required to pay compensation."
  • Upon hearing this, Emilia suddenly understood.
